Opis:
To co czyni : Ghost in the Shell : Stand Alone Complex genialnym serialem to nie tylko fabuła, piękna kreska, ale również muzyka, idealnie dopasowana do sytuacji w filmie, której jakości nie powstydziłby się mistrz Williams albo Horner. Gdy przesłuchałem ścieżkę dźwiękową, już wtedy wiedziałem, że zabraknie mi słów (choć nie tylko mi jednemu patrząc na innych recenzentów), by powiedzieć jak bardzo jest dobra. Mam nadzieję, że mi to wybaczycie. Znakomita większość utworów została napisana i aranżowana przez Yoko Kanno - autorkę soundtracków z innych filmów anime (międzyinnymi Macross Plus). Ghost in the Shell : Stand Alone Complex łączy wiele gatunków muzyki filmowej, od dobrego rocka, przez muzykę klasyczną do rewelacyjnego, organicznego techno. --Mike "Vendeta" Tarnowski

Description:
Shirow Masamune continues to raise the bar and set the gold standard for what an animated series can and should be. Breathtakingly beautiful artwork combined with intelligently written storylines and incredibly brilliant acting creates a world that is as believable as it is fantastical. Again, Yoko Kanno demonstrates her artistic genius to get inside a story and create the entire atmosphere of a series through song. By working with different lyricists she’s able to maintain an overall musical theme instrumentally while allowing different vocalists to create a dynamic emotional landscape.
Since the advent of electronic music, we’ve been culturally conditioned to associate techno with the future. Yoko uses this to her advantage, combining that concept with guitar based rock’n’roll or Russian choral variations to create something familiar yet different enough to sound as thought it had originated in our future. Her production of the album is flawless. She manages to effortlessly maintain the continuity of her particular compositional style without creating schlocky, ham-fisted house music.
Part of what keeps each track sounding fresh is Yoko’s collaboration with different lyricists and vocalists. Lyricist Troy and singer Ilaria Graziano combine their talents and create other-worldly vocalizations of dreamscapes over a pulsing electronic beat. Tim Jensen works with such diverse singers a Hide, Scott Matthew and Origa to create more rock’n’roll based pieces that convey a sense of post-modern angst.
Origa is best known for her performance on the opening track, Inner Universe. Along with Shanti Snyder, they have composed a haunting and transcendent lyric, a perfect accompaniment to Yoko Kanno’s beautiful thumping electronic score. This song truly encapsulates the beauty of the animation, the genius of the storylines and the zeitgeist of the world of tomorrow. --Stephanie Costello
